Forever Remembered 🐾🌈
Willa

"Willa was the simply the best, one of the sweetest souls you'd ever meet. She lived for a good squeaky toy. She never met a treat she didn't like, even ones she wasn't supposed to eat. She once ate a whole bowl of Reese's Christmas Trees, leaving no evidence behind, until days later, when the wrapper confetti was sprinkled across the yard. In her prime, she loved to run, and she was so fast, and there was no slowing her down. Walk, Ride, and Treat were her favorite words. She was a water baby, whether it was her plastic kiddie pool, the river, or the beach; she loved it all. When we got her cancer diagnosis, we were heartbroken. Her and her sister have brought so much sunshine to our lives after not being able to have two-legged children. They are our world, and both deserve the world. We wanted to give Willa this last gift not only for her, but for us too. So, we created the ultimate bucket list for her. We took a family beach trip, a Ribeye steak all to herself, her first beer, etc. For the last 3 months, we had the bittersweet gift of "Time." Time for more snuggles, more car rides, more treats, and more "I love you's." We had the most perfect last day together. We are going to miss her endlessly. She is leaving a void that can never be filled. We are finding so much comfort that she is no longer in pain and that we'll see her again. We can't wait for that day. Til then, Run Free W***y Girl.
Love Momma, Daddy and Gypsy."
